Your Medical Records

Your medical record is created on your first visit to Southampton Hospital and will be accessed for any additional visits you might make here, whether for minor surgery, routine diagnostic procedures, laboratory work, physical therapy or any other reason. Your record will also be accessed if you visit any of our convenient satellite care facilities. The medical record number that is first assigned to you will be used for any future medical care you have as an inpatient or outpatient at Southampton Hospital.

The contents of your medical record are confidential and cannot be released without your written authorization. Your personal physician and any specialist you see may ask you to sign a form requesting a copy of your record for them to consult. If you or your guardian should require information from your medical record, you will need to complete a Medical Record Release Form (Español)
and send it to our Health Information Management Department at:

NY Care Information Gateway

By signing up for the NY Care Information Gateway, you can help providers to improve your care, save time in an emergency, create quick access to your test results, ensure that your privacy is protected, and reduce the need for paper copies of your health records.

To sign up, you must complete a consent form, available in the Patient Access department on the first floor near the main lobby. Please ask our staff for details when you visit the Hospital or call (631) 726-8380.
